Set accessory info serial number to MAC address #42

As a stop gap until a Python version can be made, I want to use Homebridge --> HomeAssistant (via HomeKit Controller component). But, HomeAssistant cannot handle accessories without a serial number/unique identifier specified (currently set to Unknown). See this issue for same concern with another Homebridge plugin.

Can the MAC address (or some other stable identifier) be used for the serial number?

Great idea @schmittx. Mac address is now used as the serial number in 2.2.1
